FROZEN!

Vacation Has Begun


With the horrible COLD weather here in Indianapolis, work was called off Today and it has been canceled for Tomorrow.  I'm hoping that everything goes okay when I go to fly to Florida on Wednesday.

Hey, if all else fails, I could just Drive down!  LOL!  no.  Only if it were drastic would I even consider that option at all.

I'll take it, but I rather wish it would be a little bit cooler for runners Saturday and Sunday.  Especially Sunday.  I know last year the heat was brutal and I had trouble with "just" a half.  With being in the Full Marathon this year, that's just going to add another layer to this.

Excited

I'm now getting excited to be heading down to Disney.  I'm still dreading Sunday, but whatever happens, it's much better than never having started to begin with.

Packing

My running shoes have been in my carry-on bag for a couple of days now.  I've added some of my running gear to it.  I've got the GPS watch on the charger and many other items charging up one last time before heading down.

I've been doing laundry today, with my day off of work.  I've been trying to figure out what exactly I'll be taking down.  I've settled on a couple pair of jeans and then mostly shorts & t-shirts.  Thankfully, I'm flying Airtran/Southwest that I booked through Southwest, so no baggage fee.

I'm just going to take my little camera this time and I probably will NOT be running with it.

New Slogan

When I get back from Florida next week, the real work begins.

2014 - The Road to Goofy 2015!

The plan is to sign up for AT LEAST the 2015 Goofy, if not the Dopey.  Let me define what that is exactly.

Goofy Race and a Half Challenge - Run the 1/2 Marathon Saturday, Run the Full Marathon on Sunday.

Dopey - Run 5K Thursday, 10K Friday, 1/2 Marathon Saturday and run the Full Marathon on Sunday!

2015 is an anniversary year for Goofy, so our racing team is gung-ho on going for this achievement!  If you enter the Dopey, you still get the Goofy medal too!

With this idea in place, my goal is to run 1,000 miles in 2014!
